Find the nearest point

[VinceBros]

Hi guys,

I am trying to improve my skills with Coordinates..

AND I'M BLOCKED, as you will see my problem.

I'm going to show you the problematic part.

Code: [Select]


pointx,pointy : array [1..4] of single;
Here are my variables, simple eh.
Those have all specific coordinates all around the map, like pointx[1] is (-123) and pointy[1] is (456) -> (-123,456)
WELL.
There are four of them, and, is it possible the find the nearest couples by player' coordinates.

Peace!

Loop through the four positions and use the Distance() function. Save the first in a var, compare the others to that. If lower, change the var to that.

It's a good way to find the lowest distance but it does not find the [1] or [2] or [3] or [4].

Save which one the loop was on where it found the lowest in a separate var...?
